Thousands Sue Weight Loss Drug Manufacturers With Serious Harm Allegations Caused by GLP-1 Medications
Thousands Sue Weight Loss Drug Manufacturers With Serious Harm Allegations Caused by GLP-1 Medications

Thousands Sue Weight Loss Drug Manufacturers With Serious Harm AllegationsBy Anthony Yates Thousands of people have come forward alleging serious harm caused by GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Those products include Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. According to a report by USA Today, at least 4,400 people have filed lawsuits since the first was filed in 2023. Those suits are now part of a consolidated federal and state litigation and target two drugmakers: Novo Nordisk, which manufactures Ozempic, and Eli Lilly, which makes Trulicity, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. The companies reportedly said they refute the allegations and will defend the safety of their products. The USA Today report focuses on three troubling cases in the growing lawsuit. 63-year-old Todd Engel was using Ozempic to manage his diabetes. However, he told the outlet that he lost vision in one eye after using the drug for four months. His medication reportedly never came up as a potential cause of his sight loss, and he lost vision in his other eye months later. 72-year-old JoHelen McClain reportedly used Wegovy in November 2023, aiming to shed a few pounds. In March 2024, she heard a noise like a "balloon popping," which she later discovered was the sound of her colon rupturing. USA Today also interviewed Mark Smith. He told the outlet that his wife, 62-year-old Robin Smith, was taking Mounjaro for weight loss. She reportedly visited the hospital twice for vomiting. Her doctor suggested she stop using the drug, but her problems persisted. Days later, doctors diagnosed her with Wernicke's encephalopathy, which the outlet explains is a neurological condition caused by a lack of thiamine or Vitamin B1. It's often linked to malnutrition. The outlet points out that an estimated 12% of Americans use GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and that the plaintiff's account for a small percentage of users. USA Today also cites a 2024 court filing by the two drug companies. They explain that the known risks are reflected in FDA-approved labeling, which the FDA has reviewed more than 40 times. USA Today details a Gallup Study, which claims that the usage of GLP-1 drugs doubled between 2024 and 2025.Chief of Research and Development at the St. Louis Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Ziyad Al-Aly, reportedly stated that no medicine is risk-free. However, he believes the benefits outweigh the risks for most patients. Legal challenges are expected to take several years.

Speaking of celebrities, there's Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. Peterson is pretty loyal to carnivore. I think Rogan is on again off again approach. Mikalia released a video the other day saying she actually has been reintroducing non-carnivore foods and not having arthritis flare ups (after 8 years of Lion Diet).

Enjoy your successes when they come. Human nature has its own setbacks for whatever reasons. Celebrate the little wins, stack the little wins and bouncing back from setbacks "can" get easier. Nothing wrong with a little excitement over a win. Scott

Similar to Geezy's posts. I don't have heart issues or a history or personal heart issues but I do enjoy reading about his past obstacles and how he hurdled them thru this way of eating (I'm trying to teach myself to not call it a diet). Same with Bob with kidney information and Terry with MS (in which we do have similar paths). Maybe my biggest interests are rooted in just how much this way of eating can help across the board coupled with just how far down the rabbit hole most everyone has went with a 'traditional' approach to eating. (the food pyramid, carb loading, fad diets, highly processed foods, seed oils, etc. etc.) I guess it is the food related success stories. Scott

Yep. In so many cases we have a sheep mentality and will flock together regardless of reasoning. A big time celebrity or pro-athlete would make people jump onboard, which would be flock mentality but I feel like the overwhelming majority would actually benefit. Scott
